So proud of friend & colleague @britshmit.bsky.social for standing up for science. Thank you for all you’re doing to safeguard America’s biomedical research!
NEW: Researchers have sued the NIH and HHS, alleging that they have engaged in a "reckless and illegal purge to stamp out NIH-funded research that addresses topics and populations that they disfavor" by terminating hundreds of grants, violating the APA, Fifth Amendment and the Separation of Powers.

For the 1st time in a decade, a child has died of #measles -- a preventable disease.
The current outbreak is mainly among unvaccinated school-aged kids.
The MMR vaccine prevents infection:
1 dose: ~93% effective
2 doses: ~97% effective
Please: Get vaccinated, and your loved ones, too.

I’m thinking about federal income tax.
If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we?
Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

Under capitalism, money is God. The old guard of social media companies will always trade you for more capital, no matter the cost -- these past few weeks prove that. The only way to change these companies to work for us, is to hurt them where it counts. Join me in getting off these apps for good.

It would be prudent if you have the time and resources to immediately start downloading any data and information you can from federal websites. Several data sources have gone dark already, which means that those data only live on someones computer for the time being. #AcademicSky
